Use `script' or M-x compile to save the compilation log in
compile-NEW.log and compare it against an old one. The easiest way
to do that is to visit the old log in Emacs, change the version
number of the old Emacs to __, do the same with the new log and do
M-x ediff. Especially check that Info files aren't built.

12. For the moment, put the tarballs on a public site and send a GPG
signed email to <maintainers@gnu.org> with the URLs of the tarballs
and their md5sum signatures. As of 2003-10, the GNU maintainers are
working on a better procedure. For reference, here are the previous
instructions, which are no more valid after the break-in of 2003-08:
====
For a pretest, do:
rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta compile-NEW.log \
emacs-NEW.announce alpha.gnu.org:/home/alpha/gnu/emacs/pretest/.
For a release, do:
rsync -aP emacs-NEW.tar.gz emacs-OLD-NEW.xdelta \
alpha.gnu.org:/home/ftp/gnu/emacs/.
12. Now you should upload the files to the GNU ftp server. In order to
do that, you must be registered as an Emacs maintainer and have your
GPG key acknowledged by the ftp people. Mail <ftp-upload@gnu.org>
for instructions. Once you are there, for each file FILE to be
released, create a detached GPG binary signature and a clearsigned
directive file like this:
gpg -b FILE
echo directory: emacs/pretest > FILE.directive (for a pretest)
echo directory: emacs > FILE.directive (for a release)
gpg --clearsign FILE.directive
Upload by anonymous ftp to ftp://ftp-upload.gnu.org/incoming/ftp/
the files FILE, FILE.sig, FILE.directive.asc

13. After five minutes, verify that the files are visible at
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/ for a pretest, at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/ for a release.
